Our Week

We sure had a busy one! Kevin's parents came down from Portland to help Kurt and Keri get started at school, so we had lots of family time with all of them and Grandmother too! They also brought Kevin's 3 year old niece with them, and Cora had a blast watching her, following her around, and even playing with her a little bit. Kevin and his dad built gates for our fence (woo-hoo! it's finally coming along! only a couple more steps left!). And Grandma and Grandpa watched Cora while Kevin and I sat in our La-Z-Boy recliners on the 50 yard line for the BYU vs Arizona football game (hurray we won! comfy seats... right behind the Arizona team. And they gave us BYU vs Utah tickets as well, and maybe we'll win the recliners and a tv too!). It was fun. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera!

We do have a lot of pictures from out camping trip though! We had a great time up in the Uintahs for a few nights. Cora didn't sleep well there, and that was kind of miserable, but she sure loved the daytime! So much to explore, so many rocks to hold and toss...

We took a little hike up to Wall Lake. Cora did great in her baby backpack! She loved getting out of it and exploring the lake too!

Wading-- Brr! The water was a little on the cool side, but very refreshing!

Walking in the campground. Cora just wanted to walk and run everywhere! So many places to explore!

In Uncle Kurt's hammock. Cora says 'uuh uuh uuh' when she wants to get up, she must have thought this was pretty comfy!

Cora and Daddy.

Cora was so tired, she fell asleep when Kevin and I walked around the lake in our campground.

At Mirror Lake. We walked around the lake, and then got in an inflatable canoe and paddled around for a bit.

Cora rode in the backpack for most of our little hike, but we let her walk the last part on the boardwalk. She thought that was great! But it did take a little bit longer because she wanted to stop and look at everything!

Cora thought the best thing about the camping trips was her access to rocks... and no one to tell her no, not to touch them! She picked up rocks from all over. But I think her favorite thing was sitting at the edge of the lake and laughing as she threw rocks in!

At home-- Cora and Sorayah playing in the backyard kiddie pool.
